We have described a new class of hydrogelator based on helical β(3)-peptides carrying a bioactive payload. The β(3)-peptides self-assemble in aqueous solution to form a nanofibrous mesh resulting in a stable hydrogel. The simple design provides the versatility for attaching different functional payloads to the β(3)-peptide scaffold to develop new materials.
我们描述了一种基于携带生物活性负载的螺旋β(3)-肽的新型水凝胶剂。β(3)-肽在水溶液中自组装形成纳米纤维网,从而形成稳定的水凝胶。这种简单的设计为将不同的功能性负载连接到β(3)-肽支架上以开发新材料提供了通用性。
